The prime attraction of the Nauti-Gal restaurant was the Nauti-Gals, who sang and danced on the bar's overhead stage when they weren't waiting on tables. This photo was published in the Feb. 23, 1967, Milwaukee Journal's Green Sheet section.(Photo11: Milwaukee Journal)

In the summer of 1968, federal agents shut down a downtown Milwaukee nightclub featuring skimpily clad women. But that wasn't why the Nauti-Gal was padlocked.

The Nauti-Gal, 611 N. Milwaukee St., made a splash when it opened in early 1967, not for its seafaring theme but for its waitstaff, made up of young women in hip-huggers, miniskirts and pirate costumes, who sang and sometimes danced above the bar.

They were called, of course, Nauti-Gals.

"Our gals are not waitresses any more than airline stewardesses are," owner John Pearson told the Milwaukee Sentinel in an Oct. 13, 1967, feature on the Nauti-Gal. "They're trained to pamper the customer and present a geisha-type of an approach to the people who spend their money at the Nauti-Gal."

The nightclub opened during a mini-boom in downtown nightlife. The Safe House, the spy-themed nightspot at 779 N. Front St., and the Crown Room in the Pfister Hotel, 424 E. Wisconsin Ave., also opened their doors. (The Safe House, now SafeHouse Milwaukee, is now owned by Marcus Corp., which also owns the Pfister.)

For a time, the club seemed to have made an impression. Sentinel nightlife columnist Buck Herzog wrote in a July 14, 1967, column that, in its early months, the Nauti-Gal had "peeled off" a 19.1 percent profit.

But it didn't last. On Aug. 12, 1968, Treasury agents seized the Nauti-Gal for nonpayment of $8,421 in withholding taxes. (The Sentinel later reported that the bill was larger, also including unemployment taxes from 1967.) Pearson told the Sentinel in an Aug. 13 story that the club would reopen in one or two weeks.

A week later, on Aug. 19, some of Pearson's employees showed up in front of the Federal Building, 517 E. Wisconsin Ave., dressed in their work clothes and toting picket signs with slogans such as "These Shapes Don't Want to Ship Out." They also urged passers-by to give money to a Nauti-Gal Fan Club, with proceeds to pay off the club's taxes.

Naturally, both the Sentinel and Journal sent photographers and reporters to the scene.

Waitresses at the Nauti-Gal nightclub, which was closed by the Internal Revenue Service the week before for nonpayment of withholding taxes, picket the IRS offices at the Federal Building on Aug. 19, 1968. This photo was published in the Aug. 20, 1968, Milwaukee Sentinel.(Photo11: Milwaukee Sentinel)

Pearson told the Sentinel's Alida Johns in an Aug. 20 story that they "want to pay the taxes, but we can't if we're closed."

Apparently, the protest wasn't enough. On Sept. 14, 1968, The Journal reported that the IRS was going to auction off the Nauti-Gal's assets, including "the scanty sailor costumes the waitresses wore."

The assets were bought by John and Roy Leopold. John Leopold told The Journal in a Sept. 24 story that he and his brother planned to open a new restaurant at 611 N. Milwaukee St. called Steak by the Ounce.

The restaurant became known as Pier 611 and, later, Cattle Barons. The Leopolds then joined forces with Packers kicker Chester Marcol for the short-lived club Chester Marcol's Point After, one of several nightspots to occupy the space after that.
